Eliniv Barda, the coach of Hapoel Tel Aviv, secured a significant and emotionally charged victory against his former club, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, at Turner Stadium. Barda, who previously served as a legendary player and later a coach for Be'er Sheva, leading them to two consecutive championships under Barak Bakhar, experienced a tough match that ended with a wide smile.
Barda's journey has been marked by both triumphs and significant challenges. He faced a health scare in the past and was notably dismissed from his coaching position at Be'er Sheva after a disappointing cup final loss to Maccabi Petah Tikva, handing over the reins to Ran Kochav. He then took on the task of rebuilding Hapoel Tel Aviv, a club with a rich history but facing considerable difficulties.
Under Barda's guidance, Hapoel Tel Aviv has shown improvement, even winning the Toto Cup and beginning to revitalize the team's trophy cabinet. The recent win against Be'er Sheva, his boyhood club, is described as a particularly sweet moment, symbolizing a full circle in his career. The article highlights Barda's knack for transforming struggling teams, drawing parallels to his success in Be'er Sheva after returning from Belgium and his current work with Hapoel Tel Aviv alongside Salim Toama.
The match itself was a close contest, with both teams exchanging blows until a late goal by Daniel Dapa secured the win for Hapoel Tel Aviv. The victory came despite Be'er Sheva boasting expensive signings, while Hapoel Tel Aviv relied on its young talent. The author notes that a draw might have been a fairer reflection of the game, citing missed opportunities by Zahi Ahmed and tactical decisions that didn't fully pay off for Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Despite the win, Barda's deep connection to Be'er Sheva remains evident, with the article suggesting that 'Be'er Sheva blood still flows in a corridor of his heart.' The victory at Turner Stadium is portrayed not as an act of revenge, but as a testament to Barda's ability to build a new successful chapter in his coaching career where few expected him to succeed.
